Appreciated
I realize that I don't need to be validated by people but it sure is nice when it just happens. This week the principal from the school I worked at called me. He just wanted to know if I was planning on coming back to work next year or if I was going to extend my leave. He made me feel like he appreciated me and my hard work was validated. I hated telling him that I wouldn't be returning because a part of me would like to go back to teaching part time and I didn't want to disappoint the nice man. Anyway, he went on to tell me that he would try his best to get me back to the school when I did choose to come back. That phone call pretty much made my week. Sigh. Oh and of course I cried when I got off the phone.

Charity, you ARE a great teacher...but you are an even better mommy!
Thanks Kelli! Being a mom is entirely different than any other job. The rewards and compensations are far greater and yet far less concrete and harder to grasp during the daily moments.
If it's validation you want, here goes:
1. you were made to be a mommy, we see it all the time.
2. I couldn't dream of a better friend for Kelli - we not only appreciate you, our family needs you.
3. you make Ty a better man, sorry Ty but it's true for me too.
Awww shucks, you Gambee's are making me all teary eyed. You guys are the bestest!
